Back to professional cycling... did anybody see this interview where Kimmage asks Lance an awkward question? (Admittedly he was a little insensitive in his choice of words.)

AICAR or GW1516, with the usual two or three Autologous blood transfusions would have been the norm this year for the peloton... Oh and not forgetting the microdosing of EPO...

Back to the OP...

One of the spin-offs from the Kohl investigation is that we know his coach was paying East European and Swiss labs to make sure what he could get away with in terms of micro-dosing EPO and testosterone... so that's probably what many are up to.

But who cares what Kohl says? It's all lies, according to McQuaid...."I would not put a lot of faith in what he [Kohl] says. It is always guys who get caught and thrown out who start reflecting a little bit, preparing a book, and they come out with anything. Unless we have proof, we can not go and do anything," McQuaid told gathered reporters. "
 
How can I put this, politely?

F*CK OFF MCQUAID YOU TEAM SUCKING TW*T.

Yes, I think that sums it up adequately...:sad:

Have seen it now... and it only took me 1:50 to be convinced that, doper or not, Armstrong is the complete, all-round peanut ;)

After seeing that excert I am convinced you don't know the meaning of the term "peanut" as it couldn't possibly be applied to the response by LA.

The reporter is obviously the only one deserving of criticism.

Mr A was within his rights to be a lot more vociferous.

probably... whatever... anyway BACK to the OP

Kohl is singing like a canary that's for sure. Difficult to understand his motivation if he's making it all up as it's 'spitting in the soup' big time. I guess my question is now not that it happens but how widespread it is. If someone like Kohl was doing it then it suggests, to me at least, that it's not going to be rare.

Possibly so but it was the sudden surge in Kohl's performance that was the alert. If a rider's performance changes dramatically then the smell of fish becomes strong which is why Wiggins has admitted that his new form will raise eyebrows.

True, but that's for the ones who get caught. The point of what Kohl has revealed now is that there is a whole network of dodgy labs who are paid to keep riders looking 'normal' but giving them an ongoing advantage that cannot usually be detected with the current doping controls.
